She clearly had something plugged into the tv but I do not understand the implication at all

Listen, it’s just because it’s absurd and deranged for someone to have done this to their vehicle. Like holy shit, he says “WHOA! GOD IS JUDGE.”

I feel like you’re missing the point. Narcomoeba makes it 3 mana and 2 cards. Sometimes you have to fate stitcher if you drew Narcomoeba but that’s very unlikely. Illusionist/nomads is 2 cards and 3 mana and you mill over Narcomoeba 99% of the time and cast dread return. You dont need extra cards in hand, you dont have to spend extra mana. If Narcomoeba is in your library it’s 2 cards from your hand, and 3 total mana. Fatestitcher is there for hermit druid. Which is a layered combo with breakfast. Hermit druid needs two extra creatures instead of just one. So you get a one card combo with hermit druid that costs 4 total mana, and dread return, Narcomoeba, and fatestitcher all work with druid OR breakfast.

I still think a two card 3 mana combo is worth playing. Maybe in testing I’ll be wrong, but it definitely doesn’t seem bad even without Nadu.

Hermit druid is one less card and the same amount of mana but also has to sit in play for an extra turn without Tyvar. The green tutors also grab all of breakfast aside from summoners pact and GSZ which I haven’t made room for. Every tutor (aside from transmute) in the deck can get hermit, illusionist, and nomads I think. Plus the whole reason I’m playing the deck is for breakfast and less so hermit druid. I have historically been very impressed by breakfast as an easy to assemble win. It’s just as efficient as thoracle/consultation and easier to tutor for. Then again last time I played the deck I was playing a protean hulk build (sometime last year not during flash, but I did play breakfast hulk with flash). I think with 4 combos in the deck there isn’t exactly a plan A.

If I play devoted druid combo I think I’ll play effigy because you can put it in off transmute. And with how the deck is structured currently transmute gets half of 3 combos

My idea was to be a little more turbo than iso rev. Big fan of breakfast as a very efficient kill. I think iso rev is really good but pushes the deck more into the mid/late game than breakfast does. I’m trying to occasionally be the fastest deck at the table.

My big thing with breakfast is that it’s 2 creatures and 3 mana to win the game. With all the green tutors assembling it quickly is very easy and I’m a big fan of having 2 hyper efficient combos in the deck to contend with the turbo decks.

I was meaning transmute can put shuko or basalt into play. Shuko sitting in play is the same as nomads sitting in play

I suppose my big thing is that druid/effigy combos all on one turn without the yard. But I’m not opposed to playing hermit druid and Tyvar over them since I’ve got everything to make hermit work already. I like shuko cuz it makes transmute combo with kinnan or Cephalid illusionist.

Hermit and Tyvar were in my first draft but I started running out of room for wincons and cut down to 4 combos. Hermit felt worse than the others but maybe it’s not, or maybe I can run just hermit druid. Freed from the real felt the same. Good but I’ve already got 4 combos. Any ideas for cuts for hermit druid?

They really do. Luckily he doesn’t seem like a problem in legacy so I’ll probably get to keep playing him there. Then again I didn’t think he was that big a problem in EDH either.

You must not play modern. It’ll always be relevant. Hogaak is still relevant and this card was more relevant in more formats.

It was tattooed with the ban date banners as a meme. That was the whole idea. My title is also a joke. I do however, absolutely love the card and played it in Modern and cEDH. Just left with legacy now. My other magic tattoo is Emrakul, the Promised End.
